Hi peoples. Met with new counsellor. Said that. Feeling wary of new enviro. It seems too good. Survival me does not want to let go. That will, I know take time to ride out the emotions and soldier on. Not a prob. The biggie for today is examining my feelings towards family- now. Based on the tools I have learnt as a big boy- not a kid throwing a wobbly. Still raw- all the guilt, shame, feeling alone- blah, stuff. Coping okay with it but. Tiring. Loving my new space. Did my first post-loony (I am one too- but not a communal loony now) painting today. My fav. so far. Will put up in the gallery soon. I was told by staff strictly 3 months then on to next stage. Just met a fellow non communal loon ( a good egg) who says some have been at this stage up to 7 months. He is on 5. Housing availability. I can cope- it is okay- because it is prioritised. Domestic violence mum's for instance. Have a good one all.
